Sawyer rigs his cage so he and
Kate can escape. Ben approaches, and Sawyer grabs him. However, nothing
happens. Ben tells him they turned off the electricity, and beats
Sawyer unconscious. When he wakes up, he's strapped down to a table.
They shove a stick in his mouth and plunge a huge needle into his
heart!
Later, Ben shows Sawyer a caged rabbit. Ben scares the bunny, which
falls over and dies. It had a small pacemaker inserted in its heart to
give it a kick-start if it gets anxious, frightened, or tries to
escape. Ben gives Sawyer a heart rate monitor and warns him that if his
heart rate goes over 140 his heart will explode. And if Sawyer tells
Kate, they'll put a pacemaker in her, too.
Back at the cages, Kate immediately questions him, but Sawyer ain't
talkin'. Kate has an escape plan -- she could squeeze through the bars
at the top of her cage and get them out.Sawyer dissuades her. Kate
doesn't understand. They could escape and he's telling her not to?
Flashback to Sawyer in jail. The new guy, Munson, stole $10 million
dollars from the government and hid it. Munson denies stealing it, of
course. Sawyer guesses Warden Harris is protecting Munson to play him
for the money. Sawyer warns Munson that the Warden will turn his wife
against him. When questioned why he's freely offering this advice,
Sawyer expresses his hatred for the Warden. Whether the money's real or
not, he doesn't want the Warden to get it.
WHOOSH to the Others returning with Colleen, bloody and pale from
Sun's gunshot. Juliet asks Jack for his help. Jack scrubs in, and
notices x-rays on a lightbox. Juliet says those aren't Colleen's. In
the O.R., Juliet confesses she's not a surgeon and couldn't stop the
bleeding. Jack finds the bleeder but Colleen dies on the table.
Pickett goes ballistic, ranting that they did this, and beelines for
Sawyer's cage. He savagely beats him in front of Kate, demanding to
know if she loves him. Kate confesses that she does, and Pickett stops.
Back in jail during visitation, Sawyer sees Munson arguing with his
wife. Sawyer's visitation is with Cassidy, who shows him a photo of
their baby daughter, Clementine. Cassidy hoped Sawyer would write a
letter to her, but Sawyer becomes angry. Denies he has a baby. Cassidy
gets the message and backs off.
Munson tells Sawyer he was right about the Warden using his wife
against him. Sawyer tells him when you care, that's when they come
after you. Munson wants Sawyer's help moving it. His wife hired a
private investigator to find it, and he'd rather Sawyer screw him over
than his wife.
Back to the present, Kate squeezes out of her cage and tries to
break the lock on Sawyer's. She knows he's lying about what happened to
him, and that scares her. What did they do to him, and why doesn't he
fight back? He tells her if she really loves him to go without him.
Kate claims she said that so Pickett would stop hitting him. She
squeezes back into her cage and tells Sawyer, "Live together, die
alone."
Juliet tells Jack she's a fertility doctor, but Jack wants to know
whose x-rays those were.
They're of a man, about 40 years-old, who has a very large tumor on his
vertebrate. He wants to know who he's really there to save.
Desmond tells Claire she has a problem with her roof. He suggests
she move down the beach while he fixes it. Charlie, feeling
territorial, says if there's any problem, he'll fix it.
Desmond borrows a golf club and ties it to a long stick of bamboo. He
puts it near Claire's tent and waits. A storm suddenly blows up, and a
bolt of lightning strikes the golf club -- Desmond used it as a
lightning rod. Charlie realizes Desmond just saved them, but how did he
know that was going to happen?
In jail, Sawyer reveals he conned Munson to get the last six years
of his sentence commuted. Sawyer gives up the location of Munson's
stolen $10 million. He's now a free man. He instructs them to put his
commission in an account with Clementine Phillips' name on it.
On the island, Ben takes Sawyer on a hike. Ben tells him his heart
isn't going to explode -- that only thing they put inside him was
doubt. At the top of the hill, Ben points to a big island across the way.
That's the island Sawyer knows and loves. They're on a smaller island,
like Alcatraz. If they escape, there's nowhere to run. Ben reminds him
the only way to gain the respect of a con man is to con him. Sawyer's
good, but the Others are better.
